CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE We investigated the prognostic importance of thymidylate synthase (TS) gene expression and polymorphisms in patients after resection of HCC. 31291332 2019
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 Biomarker disease BEFREE Elevated levels of mRNAs encoding dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase and thymidylate synthase are associated with improved survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with S-1. 28693254 2017
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Our study for the first time demonstrates the association of SNPs in TYMS gene and clinical outcome of HCC, suggesting that rs523230 and rs9967368 in TYMS gene might be used to predict clinical outcome of Chinese HCC patients. 28043790 2017
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our results indicate that SAHA and 5-FU act synergistically to inhibit cell growth and tumorigenicity in HCC via the induction of cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis through a mechanism involving the inhibition of thymidylate synthase, suggesting that combination treatment with 5-FU and SAHA may be beneficial for the treatment of inoperable HCC. 26108995 2015
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Therefore, when administering oral 5-FU in patients with HCC, it is important to consider three genetic polymorphisms (CYP2A6, DPYD, and TS) associated with 5-FU metabolic enzymes. 23571497 2013
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE In both the Los Angeles and Guangxi studies, low-activity genotypes (reduced enzymatic activities) of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and high-activity genotypes (enhanced enzymatic activities) of thymidylate synthase (TYMS), both of which discourage the misincorporation of uracil into DNA, were shown to be associated with a reduced risk for HCC. 18336674 2008
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 AlteredExpression disease LHGDN This study supports the hypothesis that reduced MTHFR activity and enhanced TYMS activity, both of which are essential elements in minimizing uracil misincorporation into DNA, may protect against the development of HCC. 17659576 2007
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 Biomarker disease CTD_human The relative mRNA level of orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT), ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and target enzyme thymidylate synthase (TS), were analyzed in 30 matched samples of HCC (T) and non-tumor tissue (NT) using quantitative RT-PCR. 18230555 2007
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 Biomarker disease CTD_human The TS mRNA level of HCC with portal invasion (4.47 +/- 2.76) was higher than that of HCC without portal invasion (2.71 +/- 1.96) (p = 0.015). 18019677 2007
CUI: C2239176
Disease: Liver carcinoma
Liver carcinoma
0.370 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE This study supports the hypothesis that reduced MTHFR activity and enhanced TYMS activity, both of which are essential elements in minimizing uracil misincorporation into DNA, may protect against the development of HCC. 17659576 2007
